The following is give examples of control structures. However, you need to be sure that your
version of postgresql has a procedural language installed. If not, you will need to install it.

Use can use createlang to add different languages to postgresql.
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/sql-createlanguage.html
The following link gives a shot list of languages that you can use. There are others however:

see Server-side Procedural Languages from:
